Think of the repercussions that arose from such issues as: the dropping of the Bomb, the formation of the UN, the Hiss case, the fir ing of Mac Arthur, the birth of Israel, NATO, the Marshall Plan, McCarthyism, etc. "And through it all, for almost eight years, Harry Truman was there, not in the eye of the storm, he was the eye of the storm. He did it, all of it—and no regrets. " His opponents could scream to high heaven that he was crazy, had lost his./fnind, would be de feated at the next election, would burn him in effigy, etc. Such "fuss 'n feathers" never upset Harry, for when he felt that he had made the right de cision, he stood firm as the rock of Gibralter. Yet, basically, Truman was a very modest man, seeking only to do the most good for the greatest number of people. He always did his homework well before proceeding, without fan fare, to put his plans into ac - tion. If he made mistakes, he never blamed anyone else for them. There were triumphs too, but he never called atten tion to them.

Chance, in good part, took Harry Truman to the presidency, but it was his character that kept him there ard determined his histor : '.l fate. He is, with out any d. uot, destined to live in the books as one of the strongest and most decisive of the American Presidents.
